Businesses utilize a lot of different endpoint devices these days in order to complete work whenever and wherever it's most convenient and efficient to do so. That means mobile devices are being utilized as business tools in unprecedented numbers.

Mobile devices are lost and stolen far easier than desktop computers that never leave the office space. Plus, they're subject to failure just like other devices.
